Burna Boy, the Grammy-winning Nigerian artiste, has finally broken his silence following his recent physical altercation with DJ Tunez.
The fight happened on Monday at Obi’s House, a popular weekly Afrobeats event in Lagos. What started as a heated argument between the two quickly escalated into a physical confrontation, with members of Burna Boy’s team allegedly joining in before bystanders stepped in to restore order.
The exact cause of the dispute remains unclear, but online speculation suggests it may be linked to long-standing industry rivalries — especially DJ Tunez’s close association with Wizkid, who fans often compare to Burna Boy.
After the incident, DJ Tunez, also known as Ogbafia, took a swipe at Burna Boy, calling him a “coward” and posting “All Signs of Weakness” — a twist on Burna Boy’s album title ‘No Sign of Weakness’.
Burna Boy responded with a mocking video. In the clip, he is seen dancing to ‘Money Constant’ by DJ Tunez featuring Wizkid, DJ Maphorisa, and Mavo.
While singing along, he changed the lyric “Ogbafia dey my side” to “Ogbafia dey for ground,” then dramatically fell — a move widely seen as a jab at DJ Tunez.

The controversy escalated on Tuesday when the Nigerian DJ Association announced a ban on Burna Boy’s music.
“Burna Boy music is temporarily out of any of our DJs’ playlists till further notice,” the association stated. “Our team will carry out a proper investigation on last night’s incident that happened to one of our own, DJ Tunez.”
